Default I'm getting there now boys and girls

Got my lock up today.

Got the car alomost totally stripped, then I should have it welded by September, and will be ready to build it back up in time for next years track day season.

One question though, 3M stoneguard, where is the cheapest place to get hold of it, and how much do you think I'll need to do the underside of my Fiesta

Nice one - how bigs the lock up and wheres it situated?

Is this the one from the council? or did you manage to find one locally?

Would be interested to see how you go about restoring the underside of yours as i'd like to do the same at some point

The lock up is a private one. I rent it from a VW garage. Fits 3 cars, or working on 2. I am also interested to see how I restore the underside of my car................
